CARGO AREA

The Comeback of the Cargo Bike

Whether for private or
commercial use: cargo bikes are trending and therefore EUROBIKE is again putting a
focus on the topic. The variety and dynamics these bikes
bring forth are presented in an area at the show, which was especially created
for this cause – the Cargo Area.

A multiplicity of new
models, most of them e-powered, make the cargo bike a practical, affordable and
stylish alternative of transport – including fun times while driving.

The cargo bike bridges
the gap between cars and the common bike. In times of packed inner cities and
the imminent ban of diesel cars, these bikes possess huge potentials regarding
an ecological shift of traffic. All over Europe, local authorities and countries
offer buyer’s premium programs for the purchase of cargo bikes – which meet a
growing demand: At last, in Baden-Württemberg, the number of received
applications of support for commercial e-cargo bikes was twice as high as for
electric cars. In March, the federal government of Germany introduced an
application of support: for commercial heavy duty cargo bikes with payloads starting
from 150 kg, which experience an increased use in the package delivery branch.

For the private use in
everyday life, the compact cargo bikes are an exciting development. Also
three-wheeled models with tilting technology and cargo bike sharing are moving
fast forward.
